The Grief Opera is a musical journey through shock and pain to profound love. Nigel Linacre wrote the words in the months after his musician son’s death by his own hand.

Sunbirds
2023-10-22 19:30 | The Neeld
The man who once told us he loved us from the bottom of his pencil case, founder Beautiful South member Dave Hemingway returns with his new band SUNBIRDS.
Having retired from the live scene at the back end of 2016, Dave has been keeping busy together with erstwhile South colleague, guitarist/songwriter Phil Barton, new discovery singer/violinist Laura Wilcockson and drummer Marc Parnell.
‘Cool To Be Kind’ was released in November 2020, on the independent label Nectar Records signalling the arrival of Sunbirds with new songs and a new sound.
Although born and bred in England, the band’s sound predominantly features the instrumentation of traditional American roots music combined with the occasional outburst of guitar heavy melody more associated with Seattle in the late 80’s/early 90’s.
However, you can only sing about what you know.
“Although a lot of the songs have an Americana feel” says Dave “they’re still about life in England. You’re going to feel a bit daft singing about pick-up trucks and low down honky-tonks when you live in Yorkshire.”
Their debut album produced by cult producer Teo Miller, captures truthful, open-hearted, funny and sometimes painfully honest songs, turning the page to a new chapter for Dave Hemingway and The Beautiful South story.
‘Cool To Be Kind’ is the result of a few transitional years in Dave and Phil’s individual personal worlds. It tells tales that cover contemporary themes as well as age-old matters of the heart and soul – all viewed through the bottom of a recently drained pint glass.
“Now we’re Sunbirds we’re free to dig a little deeper into ourselves”, says Phil “having said that, there’s no exact science here, we’re just enjoying ourselves and expressing whatever we want whether it’s about love, longing, depression or Gary Lineker’s crisp adverts”.
“Cool To Be Kind is a must-have album which helps us forget the pandemic and lust after the days where this amazing new band can deliver their songs live” – UK Music Reviews
“A highpoint of it’s rootier ilk” – We Are Cult
“Appealingly understated song writing” – Classic Pop Magazine
“An album with warmth to spare” – MOJO Magazine
Sunbirds ‘Cool To Be Kind’ debut album is out now available on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Amazon UK & Music, all HMV stores and via the website – www.sunbirds.co.uk
Sunbirds are:
Dave Hemingway – Vocals
Phil Barton – Guitar
Laura Wilcockson – Vocals & Violin
Marc Parnell – Drums
Chris Offen – Guitar & Keybaords
Jerry Jobson – Bass

One night in Chippenham with support from Kane Pollastrone and 6foot6. Show starts at 8pm, no booking required just rock up and enjoy a night of awesome original music.
Who is Josie Field?
Multi-time South African Music Award nominee and now West Midlands based singer songwriter Josie Field releases Blue Planet. The song, her second offering this year after the release of Miami in May, explores a completely different genre highlighting the artists versatility and song-writing scope. Blue Planet is the title track off her brand new blues-inspired album.
What’s her latest single Blue Planet, sound like?
Right from the get go this song bursts into life with powerful gritty guitars and a driving drum sound that sets the scene perfectly for the first lyrics “Hide your sons, hide your daughters”.
The strong blues sound of Field’s voice is unmistakable and raw as she delivers punchy, honest lyrics underpinned by striking guitars and a rolling rhythm section.
A thundering blues track with effortless vocals delivering simple, understated lyrics. Imagine Chris Stapleton, John Mayer, The Black Keys and the RHCP had a baby girl together.
